We’ve had some unseasonably warm temperatures the last few days, but there’s still snow on the ground for the snow enthusiasts like Judy Byykkonen’s four-legged friends, Mandy and Minerva. Mandy is the big curly-haired pooch, a Labradoodle, with tons of energy and Minerva is the newest addition to Judy’s household. She’s a Scottish Terrier and even though there is a huge difference in size, she seems to keep right up with Mandy when enjoying the outdoors. Judy did say that Minerva does get quite a work out though, with those short little legs. We should all take the time to enjoy the winter season like little children and puppies do. Not only will it de-stress your busy life, but it will put a smile on your face, I’m sure. Give it a try!

Our dog Lulu just loves the snow. One year it was deep enough is all we saw was her tail sticking out. Hope all had a nice Thanksgiving and lived thru "Black Friday".

I knew that was a Scotty! No one can not convince a Scotty they are not big dogs! Love them Scotty dogs to pieces!! My Scotty boys are waiting for snow to come our way!

This is my very first Scottie and you are right,Janie. Cannot convince her that she is not a big dog!!! I just love her spunk--yet,she is also so affectionate!She and Mandy-doodle have become great pals!My third dog is a bit old for the deep snow.

Jaby, since 1988, we have had Scottish Terriers in our family. Always having 2 at a time, really brings that Scottish personality out..try it if you can! :)

I knew those were Judy's dogs. Last time we were UP, Mandy greeted us at the door. What a sweet dog. Thanks for sharing with us, Judy!
